    MacBook only slowly charges when shutdown, doesn't recognise charger.

    I have a problem with my MacBook Air M1. It stopped charging when it's on and doesn't even see the charger connected. But when it's off, it's charging slowly (~50% overnight) and the device makes a sound when plugged in. The problem started when my adapter died while charging. One of the ports...

    Uneven Local Dimming in HDR on MacBook Pro M3 Mini-LED Display

Is this a characteristic of the Mini-LED display, or could it be a software/hardware issue? If you look closely at the images, you’ll notice these darker...

    Is anyone else frustrated with the current mechanics of using two eSIMs when one of them is for work? Specifically, if I'm using my MacBook to respond to a work text then it automatically switches my line to my personal which defeats any privacy purpose I had to get a work phone number. My...

    This started 6 months ago, and back then the fading happened at a very small angle when the lid is almost fully open or closed. Mostly just an inconvenience as restarting fixed that issue for some duration. However overtime the angles that would make the screen fade out become larger and...

    Seriously? 8GB used to be enough.. it's becoming less and less the case

    That doesn't even add up near to 8GB :D Meanwhile, Apple still sells base models just shy off a thousand with 8GB equipped. I gotta say, owning this laptop since new it's probably frozen on me less than 10 times. So overall great stability.. however messages like these worry me for the future.
